I had a babysitter who I paid higher than average so she would ALWAYS come to me when I called. If she were not available, I sent a sympathy/congratulations/Happy Birthday card and didn't go.
My circle of friends did get smaller -- mostly single and divorced mothers who understood and were okay with doing things where kids WERE welcome -- or chipping in for two sitters.
